Case study

Professor Layton: Curious Village HD Vita: an Android game rehosting port

Professor Layton: Curious Village HD Vita runs the Android game on PS Vita by loading its ARMv7 executable, resolving Android imports with native functions and patching platform behavior. The loader uses the player's APK and OBB data; the author notes occasional video problems and slow animation after puzzle solutions.
